Home Page
This is the page which the users will typically see first.

Contact Us Page
Self-explanatory but worth mentioning. You need to give your users a way to contact you.

Feedback Form
It can be very beneficial to make your users feel a part of your site growth. This can be accomplished by providing them with the opportunity to give their comments and feedback.

Product & Service Pages
Showcase your products and services. If you have several products or services, we will need to divide them up into categories. Let's say you sell 'gift items'. On your Products page for example, we will list all of your product categories; computer, electronics, music, jewelry, items for children, etc. From that page, you will click on a category that will take you to a web page listing all of your items in that category with photos, description & ordering capabilities. You may also need one web page for each product and/or service.

Company Page
Most web site visitors like to learn more about the company they are thinking about doing business with. It helps to show them that you are an actual company and exist outside of Cyberspace. Showcase your company, share an interesting story on how you were established or add a message from the owner/president.

Staff Page
Again, web site visitors like to see the people behind the web site. Add your staff photos, position, contact information and maybe even add something fun like a mini-bio or favorite quote.

Site Map
A site map serves two essential functions: To act as a road-map of your web site to help users who get lost & to act as a single page from which the search engines can "spider" all of your other web-pages. An essential page!

Privacy Statement
A statement that reflects how much you value your visitors' privacy. You may believe that many may not read it but they sure notice when it isn't there; it assures your web site visitors that you will not sell or give away their contact or ordering information.

Search
Provide a search facility for your web site visitors. Nice to have perhaps but certainly not essential, unless your site is very large.

Directions/Map
Helpful if you are in a hard-to-find location or just want to provide convenient directions to your place of business.
